Applebees is open as of Monday, June 20th. Plenty of cars in the parking lot!

Original post 5/31/11: Same place as before in the Camarillo Town Center Shopping Center at 291 West Ventura Boulevard, Applebee's is staging a Camarillo comeback. As some of you may recall, all 4 Ventura County Applebee's locations closed in January 2009. While I didn't get a photo of the sign on my way to Souplantation, I can say that they had "We're Hiring" signs up and people on hand to conduct interviews. This was confirmed by the following posting to Ventura County craigslist:
